if you're setting up a golf trip, i would reccomend edgefield out in troutdale (maybe a 20 min drive from portland) huge golf course. Mcmenamins beer is decent, not the best, but the experence from there makes up for everything .

Widmer is great as well, AWESOME FOOD!
Across the street is another mcmenamins, white eagle, which has local bands play all the time, not rock bands usually, but eclectic music, some folk etc, pretty rad.
Lucky lab is another fun one.
Collition brewhouse is a great one, met the brewers/owners the other night, great people.
Cascade barrelhouse for some sours!
seriously, throw a dart, you'll find a good beer selection at pretty much anywhere you stop into.

Well someone e mention chehelem valley which is golden valley brew pub in mcminnville which is 15 mins from newberg headed to the coast. There is also mcminamens Oregon hotel in mcminnville. If the weather is good the roof will be open and is a great place in the evening. Henrys in portland has a huge beer list as well.

Thanks for all the replies. I knew there was plenty of good food and beer in Portland. That's the problem, too many choices, and I would hate to miss the best ones. I'm astounded at the number of places owned by McMenamins. They even have a few up here in Seattle, but I'm hoping to sample some of the beer from the smaller breweries that may not make it up here often. I'll definitely hit Chehalem Valley because they're just down the road from where we're staying. We're playing in different areas, so we can swing by just about just about any place. The only area I've ruled out is downtown Portland itself. I've been there and there are tons of good spots, but I'd like to try something different this time.

Boy - The same group of golfers stayed and played at Resort at the Mountain last year. We had a very good time. It must be great to live and work there (in the summer anyway.)

The McMenamins with the best beer in the area is the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse off of Hwy 26 West in Hillsboro. They brew on site and always seem to have about 6 seasonals brewed there...and they are always good. The have a killer CDA called "Dark Star."

They also have a distillery there...so you can buy any of their Gin, whisky etc. I really like the Hogshead whisky myself.
